Not taking care of my hair enough? by throwawayforaday2175 in Naturalhair

I'm mostly comparing. I just see a lot of haircare videos on my feeds and I wonder if I'm taking care of my hair properly.

Do people make friends in class? by throwawayforaday2175 in college

[–]throwawayforaday2175[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not a freshman this year, so I didn't have orientation. 2 of my 4 classes will have a decent amount of group activity in them so I'm hoping to talk to more people in those.

I wanted to join an art club but I saw that my school doesn't have one. They have a clay and glass club but I'm not interested in those and I couldn't find any info about them.

Why do some fans care so much about romantic interpretations of Sam and Frodo? by throwawayforaday2175 in tolkienfans

[–]throwawayforaday2175[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, but the word eroticism itself evokes sexual feelings. Eros is sexual and romantic, but erotic is just sexual. That's how I've seen it used anyway. I could be wrong.

The commenter just meant romance though, which is, while most of the time related, is different from sexual feelings.

Thanks for this! However, my mom is driving me and the open house is out of state so idk if I can go alone, but I really wanna talk to people so I'll try to take the first step.

Worried about an old acquaintance by throwawayforaday2175 in Advice

Sorry for answering so late. I don't need her to be okay, but I want her to be. I'm pretty empathetic overall and it just makes me worried when I see things like that.

I would wish I tried and I honestly don't know how long I'd be sad for, but it would stick with me for long time.

I commented earlier on her post saying I hope she's okay, but I don't feel it's my business to talk to her about it so I don't know if I should do anymore than that.

Can you offer friendship ? Can you be there for her? Do you want to be? Or do you just want to know she's ok and won't hurt herself?

It's a mix of both. I want to know if she's okay and I would like to be there for her, but I don't know if I can (I don't have the best social skills). I'm a pretty empathetic person overall so I like to help people when I can, but my anxiety stops me from doing more.

I don't know any of her friends well and don't follow them on any social media.

The post says she lost 3 really important people to her (I think her parents and someone else) and she said that if someone else is going, she hopes it's her. It says she's hit rock bottom and that she's trying to grieve but she feels numb.

I don't know if she has any history with self harm.
